Who Is Really A NIGER DELTAN? by Amarabae(f): 7:33am On Jun 26, 2017 |
Good Day All! Happy Sallah To My Muslim Friends! - If you go into the street of Nigeria and ask, who is a Niger Deltan? 95% of respondents will likely fail the question. The Reason for this write up is that some Peoples ignorantly love to use the phrase "IGBOS and NIGER DELTANS". Its wrong and an embarrasement to the intellectual mindset. - First, What is a Delta? A Delta is a Land area where a River spread into diverse tributuaries before emptying into an Ocean or Sea. - Niger Delta is the delta of River Nigeria. The USA has Mississippi Delta. The China has Yangtze Delta. The Egypt has Nile delta. And so on. - In Nigeria, How Is A Niger Deltan identified, lets examine it in three ways and then solve the Igbos and Niger Delta Question. - 1) Niger Delta as Oil Producing Areas?- If Niger Delta is classified by Oil Producing Areas, that mean Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws, Urhobos etc are part of it. - Yorubas produce Oil in Ondo state. - Igbos have Oil producing areas in Ukwa areas of Abia, Egbema, Asa/Ndoki, Oguta, Ogbaru, Ndoni, Omuma, Etche etc. - So if it is classified by Oil producing areas, that means all ethnic groups in southern Nigeria are Niger Deltans. - 2) Niger Deltans As South South States?- This is the classification many use to define Niger Deltan. And they even Ignorantly think Igbos are not part of it. I am an Asa lady from Oyigbo LGA In Rivers state. I am proudly Igbo and Niger Deltan. Also the Ndokis, Ndoni, Etches, Egbemas etc are also Oil producing areas in South South and they are part of the Igbo Nation. Ikwerre, Ogba and Ekpeye may be a battleground of identity issue but they are of Igboid stock. So you see if we use South South as classification of Niger deltan, IGBOS are part and parcel of it. - 3) Niger Deltan By Virtue Of Geographical Location? If we go by this classification, that means Edo and Cross River people are not Niger deltans, because there is no delta of the River Niger in their location. If we go by this classification, that means IGBOS are fully part of the Niger Delta. - My Final submission is that trying to create Niger Delta without mentioning IGBOS is a big FRAUD. There are Igbos in the term "NIGER DELTA". Even the River Niger is a dermacation between two Igbo Cities Onitsha and Asaba. - The days of divide and conquer are fading away. I am an Asa/Ndoki person. Oyigbo is my LGA! Rivers is my state. IGBO is my ethnic nation. And Yes I am a Niger Deltan just like my fellow Igbos like Etches, Ndonis, Egbemas, Ogbarus, Ogutas, etc. Thank you all. 267 Likes 40 Shares |

Tolexander:95% of Nigerians have heard and know where Niger delta is. Whether igbos are there changes nothing. There are many tribes there too. It is very distinct from the south east. South south is Edo, Rivers state, Delta state, Akwa ibom state, Bayelsa state, and cross river state. The real Niger Delta is Delta state, Akwa ibom state, Rivers state and Bayelsa. Imo state, Ondo state and Abia state where only included in Niger delta by Obasanjo as oil producing states, they are not real Niger delta in the sense of it 75 Likes 1 Share |

The Huasas and Yoruba divide and rule Designed by the British intelligence is second to none. They have SUCCESFULLY divided a region. By Geographic definition of SS and SE ONLY rivers, bayelsa, delta, are SS CALABAR AND akwaibom are even more SE than the 5 Igbo states. For too long they've succeeded. Unless som1 says enough, this contraption will continue. 109 Likes 10 Shares |

Amarabae:Ur forgetting one thing, igbos are minorities in the Niger delta like the rest of the tribes there, so they don't own Niger delta. and all this tribes don't share the same ideology with the igbos, when they really gather together and become united in the in a course, the little Igbo sub groups there will do nothing. They will have no ally in the Niger delta, they will have to join the other tribes and fight for the same course, or move back to the south east and be with their brothers. 33 Likes 5 Shares |

Amarabae:The real Niger delta is Bayelsa, rivers, and delta. Of course igbos are part of it, especially the ikwerre which regard itself as distinct from the igbos. The real igbos are a minority like the other ethnic group. As long as the ikwerre agrees with other tribe in the Niger delta, there is nothing real igbos will do 12 Likes |

In Delta, the Ukwuanis and Even the Oshimili(both in the Delta Igbo family) are the part of the Niger deltans there. In Rivers, I have listed to you the Igbo subgroups there, which I am part of.
